2.0 Basic Operation
2.1 The Fat Channel
The heart of the StudioLive is the revolutionary Fat Channel. The Fat Channel
makes dynamics, routing, and panning for every input and output on the
StudioLive available at the touch of a Select button. The 12 multipurpose
knobs and meters located in the Fat Channel control nearly every adjustment
you will need to make on your StudioLive. From the Fat Channel, you can:
Add dynamics processing and EQ to every input and output
Create sends and effects mixes for all 4 analog aux
sends and both internal effects buses
Engage phantom power for each Mic preamp
Meter inputs, Aux and Main outputs, and gain reduction for all 16 channels
Copy, save, and load mix Scenes
Recall your fader position for stored mixes
For complete information, see Section 4.1 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
2.1.1 Select Buttons, Meters and the Fat Channel
For complete information, see Section 4.1.1 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
Select Buttons. All around the StudioLive, you will see Select buttons. There is a
Select button on each of the 12 channels, each of the 4 analog aux sends, both of the
internal effects buses, and the Main output bus. Each of these buttons serves the
same purpose: to access the Fat Channel parameters for its channel or bus.

2.1.2 Fat Channel Dynamics Processing and EQ
For complete information, see Section 4.1.2 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
The main function of the Fat Channel is to provide dynamics processing and
filtering for every input and output on the StudioLive. The rotary encoders work
in conjunction with the meters directly above them to adjust the dynamics
processing and EQ. The Fat Channel's processing section consists of five parts:
High-Pass filter, Noise Gate, Compressor, Limiter, and parametric EQ. Each can
be turned on or off and controlled separately. The signal flows as follows:
The Pan control for each input or output bus is set on the Fat Channel.
In addition to dynamics processing and EQ, the Fat
Channel includes the follow preamp controls:
Phase Reverse Button Reverses the Phase of the Selected Channel.
Push this button to invert the phase of the selected channel's signal (that is, to alter
the phase by 180°). The button will illuminate, indicating that phase reverse is active.
The Phase Reverse button can be used to correct audio signals that are out of phase
and cancelling/reinforcing each other.
Phase reverse is only available on the 16 channels of the input bus.
48V Button Engages Phantom Power for the Microphone Preamp of the Selected Channel.
Push this button to engage phantom power in the selected channel's microphone
preamp. The button will illuminate, indicating that phantom power is active.
Phantom power transmits 48V of DC electricity through a microphone cable. Most
commonly, it is used to power condenser microphones, although some direct boxes
also take advantage of it. For more information on microphones, please consult the
Microphone Tutorial in Section 8.1.
Phantom power is only available on the 12 microphone preamps of the input bus.
2.1.3 Fat Channel Panning and Stereo Link
For complete information, see Section 4.1.4 in your StudioLive 16.0.2 User Manual.
Stereo linking is done in the Fat Channel. Input channels and aux buses can be linked
to create a stereo pair. For mono channels and Aux buses, a stereo link can be
enabled when either channel in the pair is selected. When the Stereo Link button is
illuminated, all dynamics settings, subgroup assignments, and main assignments are
nondestructively pasted to the other channel in the pair.
Basic Operation 2
The Fat Channel 2.1
The Pan control for each input or output bus is set in
the Fat Channel. The LED display shows the Pan
setting, and the encoder to the right of the display
controls panning for the selected input or output bus.
When two channels are linked as stereo pair, the LED
display will automatically change to stereo pan.
